(21,020 posts)the retired police officer who put his life on the line every day for nearly 18 years before being injured on the job.
Who had to listen to some real nasty shit from real nasty people he arrested over the years. Like guys who would threaten to come to his house and rape his wife and daughters. Because he arrested them.
This was at least 30 years ago, and you know, those people are STILL out there holding their grudges, as I found out a couple of weeks ago from someone who is friendly with the wives of two very nasty guys who have been in and out of trouble for years. Still talking about "that cop from _____" (city where he worked).
A few years ago one of these skunks got into some big trouble and ended up disrupting life for hundreds of people because of reports he had weapons (and possibly a bomb) in an apartment.
No bomb...but lots of weapons.
This guy would think nothing of shooting that retired police officer dead in the street.
I'm married to that retired police officer. He's the type of "coward so fearful he can't go about his life without a hidden weapon".
